Two New EverQuest MMORPG Expansions Announced by SOE
MMORPG Fans of the Popular EverQuest and EverQuest II Series Get a Treat from Sony!
At the latest Sony Online Entertainment Fan Faire 2009 held in Las Vegas this past Friday, fans recieved an exciting announcement of two expansions for the hugely popular EverQuest and EverQuest II MMORPGs.
The details on the MMORPG expansion are few and far between at the moment, but Sony did announce that EverQuest: Underfoot would be the 16th official expansion for the original EverQuest MMORPG. The Underfoot expansion would introduce a new underground dungeon for players when it launches later this year.
In addition EverQuest II will also be getting an expansion called Sentinel’s Fate thatis expected to release in 2010. This new expansion will increase the current level cap to 90 and will introduce an achievement system to the game.
“Sentinel’s Fate will allow you to play older, low-level content with a high-level character and still gain experience. SOE is also integrating various achievements into the game, such as killing 10,000 orcs or reaching level 80 with multiple characters.”
It is hard to believe how long EverQuest has been around, and even more impressive that the development team is still creating new and exciting content for this beloved MMORPG. Fans of the series will have a lot to look forward to in the coming year with these latest announcements from Sony.
80GB PS3 Bundle Releasing in Japan
80GB PS3 Bundle, in Various Colors for Japan
Famitsu announced today that Sony will be releasing an 80gb version of the PS3 console for the same pricing as the current 40gb model. The new release will also come bundled with the newest version of Gran Turismo 5: Prologue Spec III.
Sony also plans to offer Little Big Planet bundled with an extra Dual Shock controller for an additional cost over the standard 80gb bundle.
As far as the colors go, there was no specific mention of what they plan to release. Knowing Japan I would expect some pretty wild color options on the consoles. It will be cool if they do the same type of release in the US to offer more options to PS3 fans here.
If you have been waiting to get a new PS3 console (and live in Japan 
) this could be the perfect time to look into making the investment. If you live in the USA like most of us do you will probably want to wait to see is Sony offers any other types of promotions here at home due to the slow economy.
